Making wine at home is a very elaborate affair, specially if you want to make anything decent. That said, I must congratulate you for thinking about this adventurous plan. Now, the wine making process can be basically divided into 6 steps:

1. Choose the fruits (grape/plum/apple/berry etc.) and chop them up removing any pits
2. Add ingredients such as yeast nutrient, energizer, pectic enzyme and add to a fermenter
3. Wait 24 hours and add yeast. Store between 70-75 °ree; F
4. Wait 5-7 days and remove all the pulp from the mixture. Move to secondary fermenter
5. Let fermentation be complete in another 4-6 weeks.
6. Siphon out the clear wine and bottle them

Now that might look involving but you can buy equipment that can make the process somewhat easier. Cleanliness and temperature control is most important. You should use sodium metabisulfite to sanitize the equipment and also to get rid of the molds in the fruit juice. Read up on some sites dedicated to wine making at home before starting out
